Judge Heller's court is nowdomeiled in the Grand Army hall, from where justice will be disbursed with the same steady hand. The petit jury was called on Monday and since then several civil cases have been disposed of. The criminal case against Frank Kelley has been continued. Janitor Ernst with a force of men are tearing down the old court house tower, and in a few days more only a skeleton of the former massive tower will remain. The job involves a great amount of work and the handling of many heavy timbers, but under the supervision of Mr. Ernst the work will be well done. Work on the foundation of the new tower progresses, but it will be some time before the finishing touches will be applied thereto. Much labor is involved in its construction but when completed will lie handsome in appearance and will last until the end of time. A BIG DEAL That Will Put Money In Your Pocket.

Deputy Auditor and Mrs. Lewton have the sympathy of their many friends, over the death of their baby which was born Monday. The burial of the little infant occurred Tuesday.

Bluffton is experimenting with a street fair and we are lead to believe that it is a success so far as a crowd is concerned.

A CRITICAL TIME During the Battle of Santiago. Sick or Well a Rush Night and Day. The packers at the battle of Santiago de Cuba were all heroes. Their heroic efforts in getting ammunition and rations to the front saved the day. P. E. Butler, of pack train No. 3, from Santiago, de Cuba, on July 23rd, says: *'We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoeea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health; In fact. I sincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a good supply of this medicine for our pack-train before we left Tampa, and I know in four cases it absolutely saved life.” The above letter was written to the manufacturers of this medicine, the Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des Moines, lowa.
